So THAT is where all this voodoo comes from!
I wonder what Orr would have thought of the disk experiment we just
did. Twice.
You are right though, I will have to get one of his books. Like I
said, several people have quoted him saying a GG amp is a phase
inverting amp. I don't doubt the quoters but I would like to read that
myself.
I'll be back. :-)
